Although it might require you to embed a video into a PowerPoint presentation, knowing how to do in in Word can also be an advantage. My sole purpose of putting video into a word document is to then finally convert the document to a PDF E-book.

What size will the PDF file be after adding video to it?
Obviously the PDF file will be a lot bigger if you add a video to it. For a quick example, I had a 4mb PDF E-book and added one small, under 10 minute video to it. The Pdf file ended up being 21.3MB. That's only adding one video. Of course there is a time and place to add video to a pdf file. If you want to email a video it would be better if it was not package into a PDF, but standalone, and compressed to a smaller video format.
To see the size of your PDF file simply go to the folder where it is stored and put your mouse over it. The details will appear in a box.
